Guestbook comments from the manager

A very nice, clean apartment with lots of outside space. The Rockwell is very practical and in a very central location, with good service from the Reception. I had a very good time and hope to be back in the near future.

Great location!

Great location within easy walking distance of the waterfront. The shopping mall just over the road has an excellent superspar and some nice restaurants. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. We would certainly stay there again when visiting Cape Town.

Terrific Apartment in Capetown

Absolutely thrilled with our fab apartment, kitchen well kitted out, rooms were furnished well, security was mega and location was excellent for all major tourist spots. Lovely large balcony to sit and chill at end of day with great view of Table Mountain.

During our 10 day stay we ate out in some terrific restaurants, but surprisingly we were happy to stay in several times after a long day out. The nearby Spar shop catered for all our needs (unlike in the UK) - lovely meats, pasta and salad bar.

Staff in apartment/hotel were all very helpful - local info, booking taxis etc.

Can highly recommend this property.

Owner's Response: Many thanks for your review and I am so pleased that you enjoyed the apartment and location so much. There are many excellent restaurants in the area and the Spar does indeed have a wonderful deli and hot food take away section, in addition to its vast range of groceries. The Rockwell does also offer a great variety of services to guests and I am happy that you made use of these facilities. Best wishes, Barbara Derber

Good spot to stay in Cape Town

The views from the terrace of this apartment to Table Mountain are superb - no buildings block your view, just a gorgeous sight. We enjoyed a sundowner on the terrace, watching the skateboarders in the school grounds play, and the sun on the mountain. The Rockwell was a good spot to stay in CT because it was close to all the access roads, the waterfront and the city centre (which was within walking distance if you like to walk). The complex was smart, secure, and excellent to have parking included. The apartment itself was beautifully presented and kitted out with kitchen and laundry, a sofa bed for our child, it was comfortable, and would make an ideal longer term stay with nearby mini market and cafes. The only issue is the noise from nearby pubs does filter up easily to the first floor so light sleepers may be affected. The pool isn't heated, and there's also a gym. We found this apartment was good value, matched the descriptions on the internet, clean, and the booking agency Agarve great to deal with.

Owner's Response: Thank you for your comments and it is very good to know that you enjoyed the apartment, wonderful views of Table Mountain and local area so much. The Rockwell is in a very central position. The indoor swimming pool is heated and it is possible maybe on the day that you used it, that there was a problem and the heating was off or not to temperature. Both the pool and the gym are freely available for guests use, as is the secure undercover parking bay that we provide for guests, with direct access to the hotel. Best wishes, Barbara Derber

A Great Stay at The Rockwell.

I booked this lovely apartment for my father and brother when they visited me in Cape Town. The apartment was clean, well-equipped and centrally located. The shopping mall is in walking distance, as are great restaurants. Public transportation is nearby. Though The Rockwell is an apartment complex, it has the amenities a hotel would provide.

I highly recommend The Rockwell.

Owner's Response: Many thanks for your comments and I am happy that your family enjoyed the apartment and surrounding area, as it is extremely well situated. The Rockwell is an apart-hotel, which is why it has so many hotel facilities available for guests, such as restaurants, bars, room service, Wi-Fi, laundry, concierge and transport services. The staff are always eager to advise guests on local activities, arrange a taxi and take care of any other needs or special requests and I am so pleased that you took advantage of this. Best wishes, Barbara Derber

The accommodation was perfect! Centrally located, perfect amount of space, great view and all the amenities you could hope for(including pool). The people at the desk were great and very helpful, as well as the people who took care of the apartment. The parking deck was an added bonus. Overall we had a great time and would love to come back and hopefully stay at the same location.
